Course Details

Major revisions are being proposed to FRS 102 and 105 with an expected introduction date from 1st January 2025. This will impact the preparation of financial statements for all non-listed companies in Ireland.

  • The incorporation of the recognition and measurement rules of IFRS 16 Leases into FRS 102
  • The abolition of operating leases for lessees
  • Understanding the distinction between a lease agreement and a service contract
